YVY provides its staff with ongoing training to enhance their knowledge in the field of services they provide to children. Ongoing lectures by outside consultants and self assessments in the classrooms have developed a strong partnership with staff to be open to more training and development.

YVY also sponsors scholarships for asst. teachers and family workers to enroll in programs to become CDA qualified.

YVY promotes parents and members of faith based communities to pursue a degree in early childhood education so they can be employed and become providers for children in their communities. We prove to them that cultural sensitivity and traditions don’t have to be sacrificed.
